Hi devs,

Working on LUCENE-5143 I’m revising the README.html files we place in the dist 
folders.
Then I started documenting how to validate checksum of the downloads in 
addition to GPG signature,
Looks like MD5 can still be used for integrity checks 
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5),
while the Ant guys claim otherwise in 
https://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/checksum.html
Will our .md5 and .sha1 files still provide security for the downloader after 
Google releases their 
recent findings or are they only useful to check that the download was complete 
and not partial?
